It seems only a few were up for sharing.

At the start of the month, we filled out our census form for 2022.

This year’s form included 8 new questions, including renewable resources, internet access, childcare and smoking.

And there was also the addition of a voluntary time capsule section.

So we had the option to leave a message to be released in 100 years' time.

With all the talk and jokes online, did many of us actually follow through and fill it out?

Apparently not.

According to Amárach research, almost 60% did not fill in the time capsule section.

For those who did, the results were quite amusing... we rounded up our favourites at the time, which you can find here.

Meanwhile, family was the most important topic for people completing the census form last month.

The census allowed people to highlight issues from 2022 for future generations.

Addressing the climate change problem emerged as a vital area of concern for Irish people.
